Your southern border will run east from the end of the Dead Sea, cross south of Scorpion Pass, on to Zin, and reach its southern limit south of Kadesh-barnea. Then it will go to Hazar-addar and on to Azmon. There the boundary will turn from Azmon to the Wadi of Egypt, Usually identified with Wadi El-Arish.

Your western border will be the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. This is to be your boundary to the west.
Your northern border will run from the Mediterranean Sea straight to Mount Hor. From Mount Hor the boundary will go to Lebo-hamath, then on to Zedad, to Ziphron, ending at Hazar-enan. This will be your boundary to the north.

It will pass down along the slopes east of the Sea of Galilee. 12 Then the boundary will go down along the Jordan, ending at the Dead Sea. This is to be your land with its surrounding borders.’ ”
13 Moses gave the order to the Israelites, “Allocate ownership of this land by lot. The Lord has commanded it to be given to the nine and a half tribes. 14 The tribes of Reuben and Gad, together with the half-tribe of Manasseh, have already received their allocation. 15 These two and a half tribes have received their allocation on the east side of the Jordan opposite Jericho.”
16 The Lord told Moses, 17 “These are the names of the men who will be in charge of allocating ownership of the land for you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua, son of Nun. 18 Have one leader from each tribe help in the distribution of the land. 19 These are their names:
From the tribe of Judah: Caleb, son of Jephunneh.
